What’s new with the Ring Battery Doorbell in 2024?

The new Ring Battery Doorbell comes with some cool new features, and some typical ones that you'd expect from a quality video doorbell.

  • Push-pin mount design: Installing and maintaining your doorbell just got easier. The new push-pin mount allows you to securely attach the doorbell with a simple push. And when it’s time to recharge the battery, you can easily remove the doorbell using a special push-pin tool that's included with the new Ring video doorbell.

  • Head-to-Toe Video: The new video doorbell has a "Head-to-Toe video," which is a first for a Ring entry-level doorbell. The 150-degree by 150-degree field of view lets you see visitors from head to toe. That's a 66% taller view than with the previous model. 

  • Standard Ring features: The new Ring Battery Doorbell includes all the essential features you've probably come to expect from Ring. It offers customizable motion zones, real-time alerts, Live View, Alexa compatibility, and Two-Way Talk, so you can watch your home and communicate with visitors directly from your phone.
